    Default The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

    I just viewed this film yesterday and I have to say that it's as good as The Dark Knight if not better. In case you didn't know about this movie it stars Brad Pitt and it's about the tale of an old man who gets younger by the years, not older. I don't want to reveal so much as it being such a great movie, but it's a uniquely and beautifully told story. One of the things you should be prepared for when you go to see this is the length of the movie. I watched at 3:00 and it ended at 6:00. The movie doesn't feel like it's dragged on, but I did feel a little sleepy, but that was out of fatigue not boredom. Just one minor issue I had with the story involving the ending was (SPOILER)that Benjamin button's age reversal grew to him becoming a child and an infant again. At the beginning of the movie he was a baby and I took it as he was just simply a child with overaged physical qualities as it showed in the movie when he was seven he had the height of a seven year old child, but just with the qualities of a 70 year old man. His personality also matched his true age, so it didn't make sense to me when he grew older at the age of 50 and beyond he shrunk and eventually became a baby. I would have thought that after he reached a certain stage like the body of a 20 year old that he had, he would just stop aging and I also wonder, when he became an infant how did he grew younger from there?All in all it was still a fantastic movie that you should see. I give it a glorious 10/10.
